Bad Habit (Bad Love Book 1)
BRIAR<br />I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago. <br />Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen. <br />We couldn't ever be together.<br />I was too young, and he was too untouchable. <br />He was too troubled, and I was too naive. <br />But the heart is rebellious, and mine decided it didn’t care about any of those things. <br />As I got older, harmless flirting turned to stolen moments in dark corners. <br />Until one day, he was gone without a trace.<br />Now, three years later, he’s back. <br />Callous and cruel. <br />He’s my brother’s best friend. My parents’ worst nightmare.<br />I should hate him. <br />But like a Bad Habit, I can’t quit him. <br /><br />ASHER<br />I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her big, blue eyes. <br />She was just a kid, nothing but elbows and knees, but she was the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen. <br />We could never be together.<br />I was too old and she was too off limits. <br />She was too good and I was too fucked up.<br />Eventually, the temptation became too much to resist. <br />I risked everything for a kiss and she betrayed me. <br />Three years have passed and I’m forced to see her again, but now she's all grown up. <br />She’s my best friend’s baby sister. My downfall. <br />I hate her for what she did. <br />But she's always been my drug of choice
